Wouldn't it be cool if he came with a reversable robe with the red mega-powers and 2nd red headband and kneepads to match). Now all we gotta do is buy 2 and paint the 2nd one yellow. Easy. Ahhhh....to dream for 29.99$. I remember paying 34.99 for first dm wm 7 warrior. With tax it was near 40$... I'd pay THAT price for what I said. I would buy a set of macho man robes alone with no figure Yeah I guess the cost is too high but they're missing on a doll like market for boys. Packs of clothes and accessories. A Pack of Macho Man robes would AWESOME. They could make character specific packs. Ok I'm taking this to the main section

It's Flair, then Nakamura, then the next two, one of which is Savage, the other is the poll winner, not Charlotte. Not sure why the Savage sticker was printed here. figure is not finalized yet Please tell me it's got a beautiful soft goods robe like flair Wouldn't it be cool if he came with a reversable robe with the red mega-powers and 2nd red headband and kneepads to match). Now all we gotta do is buy 2 and paint the 2nd one yellow. Easy. Ahhhh....to dream for 29.99$. I remember paying 34.99 for first dm wm 7 warrior. With tax it was near 40$...

Barry Windham & Arn Anderson from the 4 Horseman pack is pretty similar to the galoob. And so is the DM Flair. Dustin Rhodes is a top want of mine. I really hope they don't make Ron Simmons and Butch Reed in sweatpants. Yeah... wtf was up with the sweatpants? GAB Sting is pretty close to Galoob Sting also. To OP, of all those guys I think a Dustin Rhodes is the most likely. were they zubas (or whatever) lol or reg sweatpants? I hope the former cuz the latter is just sad lol

I was a fan of the Hasbro and Galoob era of toys. I adore the new Mattel Retros as well. I love that Mattel is/has been releasing a lot of the Hasbro era guys in basic and elite form. Typhoon, Sid Justice, Papa Shango,Narcissist, Green Warrior, IRS... Now with the new Flyin' Brian, and the Surfer Stings, I'm hoping for more of the Galoob guys in basic or elite form. Since they did Doink, does anyone think or know if they can produce a Big Josh. A Natural Dustin Rhodes or a Sid Vicious in a red singlet would be great, too. I'm guessing a Z-Man would be out, but are there any others that would be a possibility? OMG man NONE of those will ever be made. Some of y'all are just so unrealistic. Big Josh? Jesus christ what planet do you live on? Sorry to be harsh but good lord there's more f'n chance of an Sd Jones or Corpral Kershner figure. C'mon McFly, think lol... We got 2 years left. They've been pumping out oldschoolers like no tomorrow this year and now they're moving on to the a/e (vinny, taker, etc)... I'm sure Bill wants to get as many NAMES as possible under their collective belt before everything's done. Sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk lol but Big Josh bahahahahaha Big Josh...lmfao

How us wrestling fans who LOVE him see him and how he's perceived are two different things. I'll never believe it and his chances of one more match are LONG gone so what value does he have anymore? If he had any value - it wouldn't even be an issue (now) with wwe they'd use him but I honestly can't see the risk vs reward in this situation. It's not upto Vince - it's upto the shareholders and Hogan COULD be a very bad investment. Just sayin'. I want him back too but we must ask ourselves - HERE ON THIS BOARD - why? Why do we want him back. Do any of you really care or do you just want a TOY? Then reverse it and take it to a new level - do all of you who want a toy outweigh the bad publicity he could bring..? Are there more of us or them? I totally understand what you're saying - but bringing him "back" doesn't necessarily putting him all over RAW/TV... they could have him under a Legends-type deal (for merch/signings/Network stuff) and see how it goes if they're worried. After all, WWE/Mattel like money - and there's a shed load to be made with Hogan. And one of the main reasons I'd like him back (other than the figures) is because of the way WWE tend to "erase" him and his importance from history, when he's not in their good-graces... yes, "Top 50 Superstars of All-time" DVD, I'm looking at you!! LOL no doubt. Firing him was one thing but taking him away was SPINELESS (but I get it). That's the thing though - you ASSUME there's lots of money to be made off Hogan (I say all the clearanced merchandise the day AFTER the story broke say otherwise). It's not just wwe - toy companies, walmarts etc etc Last time I checked everyone LOST money on Hogan merch, I don't think that's just gonna turn around all of a sudden. I'd like to be with you on this but common sense says NO MORE HOGAN UNTIL HE DIES. Sorry guys... I think it's time you all made peace with this. He comes back, then cool - glad I was wrong but I'm 99.9% I'm right. It's just good business that Hogan is bad business. What you/me/we want just isn't realistic and doesn't make financial sense. Again, sorry...

I'm sure the master fixer uppers have a perfect formula for a barefoot snuka involving Legends Snuka, Pillman tights, Kevin von Erich legs and feet, and some paint? Yes swap it all out then use brown shoe polish and stain the legs (someone else's trick not mind but I forget who or i'd give credit). I only used the feet/shins cuz i bought em off ebay so I painted his legs (what can you do?). Since I used his own legs and they're molded like tights at the knees - I used Paige's kneepads, they worked great on snuka.

Ummm...no thanks Create a superstars suck. They fall apart I disagree. Never had a problem and I made a bunch of nice Hogans out of them. The best thing about them is you can pull every piece apart to paint it - can't beat that. I still think all the create a whatevers are dumb though (marvel, tf or wwe) cas hogan dm hogan

I'm trying not to get my hopes up... but just imagine all the different era Hulks we could have - plus 2-packs and multi-packs! If he does come back, MDT should release the DM NWO Hogan ASAP, followed by the Tie-Dye Hulk Still Rules... then at least we'll have the 3 main Hulks. A Hollywood Hogan figure would be rad. As far as a return to tv, he's beyond diminished returns at this point... ...not really - he's still the biggest name in wrestling history. And a lot of people and media actually see him in a good light/hero of sorts after winning that case against Gawker. At the end of day, we've all said stupid/regrettable things in private. How us wrestling fans who LOVE him see him and how he's perceived are two different things. I'll never believe it and his chances of one more match are LONG gone so what value does he have anymore? If he had any value - it wouldn't even be an issue (now) with wwe they'd use him but I honestly can't see the risk vs reward in this situation.

I would be satisfied with these (for a 'complete' collection) 1. Kurt Angle (but let's be honest, Kurt WILL be made. He will be back by the time the contract is up and there will be at least one figure of him made.) Euro Continental Champion 2. Jesse Ventura (LJN look with boa and shades) 3. Capt. Lou Albano (LJN) 4. Mr. T 5. Grandmaster Sexay 6. Scotty II Hotty 7. Val Venis 8. Big Poppa Pump 9. Magnificent Muraco 10. Superstar Billy Graham But I still want... Mr. Fuji Adrian Adonis Fabulous Moolah Hercules Haku Bob Backlund Slick Wendi Richter OMG Ken Patera Koko B. Ware Warlord Barbarian Skinner Virgil The Mountie Repo Man Hollywwod Hogan Nailz The Steiner Bros Giant Gonzalez Raven King Harley Race Headshrinkers Killer Bees Adam Bomb Smoking Guns Ludvig Borga Disco Inferno Eric Bischoff Hart Foundation Jim Neidhart and Owen Hart Jeff Jarrett Konnan 'The Rocket' Owen Hart and Chyna still got a ways to go mattel

Am I the only one who hates that Bossman headscan? It's like his awful CS one. I was actually thinking it would work for a babyface early 90's Bossman. It actually looks alot like when he was with slick right before the split and he lost a little weight and didn't wear the shades anymore. I think it's before one of the survivor series (during the thanks part) when it's the Dream Team vs The Enforcers - bossman and slick have their part and bossman looks exactly like this scan (he's holding the ball and chain up in the promo).

Why would Mattel use that torso on 50 year Vince? He never was that big in the Attitude era. Hopefully the network spotlight Undertaker isn't far from hitting retail! Because Vince is in that rare class of HUGE guys -guys that roided over night almost lol "The Rock" Don Muraco Hollywood Hogan "Macho Man" Randy Savage Vince McMahon You can tell when the reg guys like Bret, Perfect, Piper & Rock (did it for movie roles) & the Genius etc all went on roids for a bit but those other guys? That's nuts lol
